The Immigration History Research Center
(IHRC), based at the University of Minnesota, collects and preserves
material on American immigration and ethnic history. The IHRC collections
are particularly strong on immigrants coming to the United States
from eastern, central and southern Europe and the Near East in the
late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Details of the research
collections are available from the web site. This information is
browsable by country of origin. As well as browsing for details
of the collections it is possible to carry out searches using the
University of Minnesota Library catalogue. The IHRC web site also
outlines the aims of the organisation. There are details of events
and projects taking place, contact and location information and
details of publications. The site provides links to other US immigration
web sites.
